“You may need to note that with exception of Hon. Ibrahim Ssemuju Nganda and Mr. Amon Ayesigigome who were elected by the national delegates conference, all the above members were appointed by me on acting basis”, the letter quotes.
This directive follows the decision by the secretary General Nandala Mafabi to fire Ibrahim Ssemuju Nganda from the position of the FDC whip in parliament as per the letter dated 6th Aug 2023 written to the Speaker Annet Anita Among.
Ssemuju responded by ravishing his president Patrick Amuriat Oboi and the secretary general Nandala Mafabi saying that removing him from the position of the FDC whip does not change anything neither remove him from parliament as a Member of Parliament.
“it is useless for Nandala and Amuriat to dismiss me from the position of party whip and idont see anything special with being a whip. Amuriat has been so incompetent and may be being removed from being the FDC whip shall now make him a competent party president”, he responded.
